Hi,

anybody have/know of a F/M 6 pin Tuchel connector I could buy? (pre wired to XLR or not is ok)
Failing that, a lead on hens teeth might be next in line.

Cheers,
Rob

There are usually a bunch floating around on German ebay, but they aren't too cheap. What mic are you trying to wire a connector up to?

Thanks Alistair,

I had found one on the Bay but it will cost more than $50 to get hold of it - I was hoping for a cheaper option if poss.
The mic is an older Beyer M88n - ex hire, battered and beaten but still breathes.

Cheers,
Rob

Look for equivalent XLR connectors that you can retrofit into the mic itself- I think that's the best way in the long run.
You certainly don't need all 6 pins on an M88!

Agreed!
I have the pin out details so if all else fails I can make a direct connection to the pins.
a tuchel is much preferred tho.
Cheers
